southern city of finland, location of the country's international airport, where formula one drivers Mika Häkkinen and Kimi Räikkönen once resided, and more...
Here is another popular christmas custom in Finland. You can see various versions of these electric candle stand, from 2 to 5 to 7 candles. How do people prepare for xmas in your city? Any traditions and customs unique to your city?
my neighbor has two of these in her windows, and I've admired them wondering where she got them. Probably the IKEA store. I'll have to ask because I'd like some for our windows, also. Our city trims outdoor trees of all kinds and hangs decorations; individuals do the same, often adding lawn decorations, wreaths, luminarias, and creches.
St. Paul is the capitol of Minnesota, so there is always a big tree brought to the state capitol building, and the lights are officially turned on by the governor of Minnesota.
